Just in time for SXSW Sydney, Apple Podcasts has launched “Creators We Love” in Australia. The editorial team “curates and celebrates creators who are changing the way stories are told and shared”, and highlight Toni Lodge & Ryan Jon; mental health advocates Hugh, Josh and Ryan of The Imperfects; Shameless Media's Annabelle Lee; sports commentator Marlee Silva; and parenting creators Gemma Pranita and Kate Reeves. The full list - including previous recipients in the US, UK and Canada - is posted on Apple Podcasts from today.
People don’t really understand AI, says Sam Bhattacharyya, writing for Podnews today. (He has an AI research background). In the article, he explains how tools like ChatGPT work, how terrible they are for creation, and how AI can actually benefit us.
Meanwhile, “the secret ingredient in every great podcast remains the same: a real human voice with something to say.” So says Steven Goldstein after testing a set of AI-generated podcasts with college students.

Today is the last episode of WTF with Marc Maron. We reported back in June that he was to end the show; he is the subject of a New York Times feature today, a focus in The Guardian, and - we’re sure - plenty more. For his final episode, number 1,686, Marc travels to Washington DC, for a second conversation with former President Barack Obama - who’s quite a fan.
The Shawn Ryan Show, one of the US’s top 50 podcasts, has signed with Daylight Media. The show was with Cumulus Media, and last month the Wall Street Journal suggested the deal could be worth $10mn. Daylight Media is an expansion of QCODE.
Shawn Ryan got a focus in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend.
In Australia, Jetpak Media, a creator representation house and media publisher, has been launched by former Spotify and ARN executive Kai Battaglene.

October 10, 2025The ad-free shows in Apple Podcasts - who pays?
Sponsored by Supporting Cast. 🐴🐴🦄🐴 Stand out from the herd with a subscription that lets your brand shine. Supporting Cast gives you the tools to build a complete subscriber experience directly into your website — developer not required! Get in touch to learn more
Apple Podcasts is promoting some shows as “ad-free in October” - but Podnews has learnt that publishers are not being compensated for the lack of revenue. Affected publishers include public radio stations, who have already seen significant funding cuts this year. Our full report looks at other podcast platforms offering ad-free shows; and Taylor Swift’s argument in 2015 with the company, about who should be paying.
Podcasting creates a unique one-on-one connection between hosts and listeners - a parasocial relationship, amplified by the rhythm and proximity of podcasting. So, will AI break this trust? Alberto Betella from RSS.com, suggests that AI voices can be trusted, as long as they use the right prosodic cues - and they’re used responsibly. Meanwhile, Tom Webster from Sounds Profitable writes that AI-performed ads may unlock significant new revenue.
Transistor has released a free podcast episode art generator, which uses your podcast feed to help make episodes. You can use it wherever you’re hosted. Justin uses it for his Build your Saas podcast.

Podcast listening is highest between 10am-2pm, according to new data from Edison Research. Breakfast time isn’t too far behind, however. The data also says that Americans age 13+ spend 10% of their total daily audio time listening to podcasts.
This behaviour is also seen in the UK, with RAJAR’s MIDAS study showing the most listening between 10am-2pm (page 25), with the peak between 12-12.30pm.
Collin Campbell is reported to have left NPR last week. The SVP of Podcasting Strategy joined NPR in Dec 2023. An internal memo from Edith Chapin, who was acting Chief Content Officer when she sent it late last month, says he is “pursuing an opportunity in news a little closer to home in California”, which Ben Mullin, a New York Times media reporter, tells us is at Apple. (Chapin also left NPR at the end of last week.)
YouTube posts “The definitive guide to creating engaging podcast content”. It recommends chapters, keyword-rich descriptions, strategic titles, and cultivating the comments section.

October 08, 2025Alex Cooper launches ad agency
Sponsored by Supporting Cast. 🐴🐴🦄🐴 Stand out from the herd with a subscription that lets your brand shine. Supporting Cast gives you the tools to build a complete subscriber experience directly into your website — developer not required! Get in touch to learn more
Alex Cooper has launched an ad agency. The Unwell Creative Agency will act “as a conduit for brands to reach Gen Z women through live events, original productions and the parent company’s podcast network.” The agency’s first deal is a multi-year partnership with Google.
Alex Cooper was one of those present at SiriusXM Media’s “Built with Audio” advertising showcase in New York yesterday. “I am a CEO and I’m a podcaster”, she said, “but all of that wouldn’t be successful if I wasn’t a marketer. Every single day I’m thinking about, ‘How can I push my product?’, ‘How can I push my podcast?’, ‘How can I push my movies, television shows, consumer products?’. At the core of it all, none of it would be as successful if I wasn’t thinking with my marketing cap at all times.”
In Spain, Isabel Coello has been announced as the recipient of the PodWoman Award for 2025. She won for her work on La Casa Grande, a documentary podcast that explores violence in intimate relationships and the recovery process of the women who have suffered it. She will be presented the award at the PodWoman event this weekend.

October 03, 2025British Podcast Awards winners and Golden Globes eligibility
Sponsored by Supporting Cast. Most podcast platforms hold your subscribers’ payment data hostage. Supporting Cast earns our partners’ trust by helping them grow their subscription business, not by locking them in. Build your own empire, not someone else's.
The winners of the British Podcast Awards 2025 were announced in a glitzy ceremony at The O~2~. Podcast of the Year went to Kill List (pictured above, Creative Director Willard Foxton). We’ve a full list, including an OPML file for your podcast player.
Meanwhile, the Golden Globes has announced the 25 eligible podcasts for the inaugural Golden Globe Award for best podcast. From the list, six nominees will be announced on Dec 8. If you’re eligible, you need to enter before the end of the month (and pay $500).
The list was compiled by Luminate, a data company part-owned by Penske Media - owners of the Golden Globes, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. Luminate released data in April claiming 40% of the US listen monthly to podcasts.
The list appears to roughly mirror the top shows in Edison Research’s Top 50. Absent from the Golden Globes list, though: New Heights and Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend.
Podcast Movement has announced videos are now available for every session from Podcast Movement 2025 in Dallas. They’re free, and available to everyone.

In the UK, a new, female-founded video podcast network has been launched by former Google, YouTube, and BBC & Freemantle execs. HERA is founded by Rosie Allimonos, Nishma Patel Robb and Kirsty Hunter, and aims “to unlock the most underserved audience in media history: women”.
Daniel Ek is to step down as CEO of Spotify. From Jan 1, Gustav Söderström, co-President and Chief Product and Technology Officer, and Alex Norström, co-President and Chief Business Officer, will become co-CEOs. Ek will become Executive Chairman, to “spend more time on the long-term strategic decisions that will define Spotify [in the] next decade”.
Spotify has announced changes ahead for Megaphone-hosted publishers. “Beginning midyear 2026”, Megaphone publishers will gain access to Spotify's ad technology, including the Spotify Ad Exchange, enabling them to book private marketplace deals (PMPs) and unlock new features like video ads, clickable ads, and improved forecasting. Targeting will also be enhanced by introducing Spotify first-party data.
For International Podcast Day, which was yesterday, Spotify also published a piece on “where podcasting is now” written by Spotify podcast editorial staff. It also shared a number of videos to Instagram with advice for podcasters.
Spotify also announced an inaugural podcaster roundtable with The Hollywood Reporter, which will air in November, featuring top contenders for the newly introduced ‘Best Podcast' category at the Golden Globes.
